California Greeks!

[navane]

LucyKKG, there are plenty of California Greeks on this board, you're just not looking close enough.

Greek life is fairly popular in Southern California, especially at schools like USC, UCLA and SDSU.

So if we are talking about how prevalent the greek system is in Cali, should we not include the NPHC. I ask because they certainly hold their own in our council. It fact my sister was initiated at USC years ago. And when I attended the University of Redlands, prospective members were included in the UCLA chapter. So there was even a presence there. Not to mention there is a strong alumne chapter presence with LA Alumnae being one of our largest alumnae chapter.

So I guess, it is a matter of POV.

Kelly - I'd even add USD (Univ. of San Diego) in there - chapter size there (for sororities) is over 100 in the spring! We heard at the Order of Omega banquet a few weeks ago that about 30% of the university is Greek.

Back to Lucy's original question - there are California Greeks on here (I went to school out of state, but still consider myself a CA Greek since I live here and volunteer with my sorority), but I too feel that Greek Life isn't as prevalent as it would be if you were from the South - it's a different mind set here (at least in my experience with the girls I work with!)
